Default info on the infamous 5.0L "tick"

Im not too sure if anyone on this forum has had the issue about a "ticking" coming from the motor of the new 5.0L mustang. However I found some good info in the new " 5.0 mustangs and fast fords" magazine (December 2012) on page 36 in the bottom right hand corner it states "does your '11-'12 mustang gt experience a KNOCK at low speeds and idle when it's warm? Well, you might need to head to your ford dealer and ask about TSB 12-8-3. It calls for a new air conditioners belt arrangement, tensioner, and idler to replace the original stretchy belt."

Just thought I put it out there for everyone that there is a TSB for the "tick" although some people might have it for a different reason. There is a ford fix for the compressor belt issue.
